I didn't break any rules. If enough people report you (even if you did nothing wrong), the algorithm will just toss you off. There is no recourse, and you can't call or e-mail to complain. I tried to use the help section to contact them, but it won't let me.
At least, that's what I've heard. I can live without it, but why should I have to?That just sucks.
Anyone have a similar experience?

I resisted Facebook for a long time but finally relented, since it seems everyone and their dog is there, but I've regretted it multiple times. If you don't know what got you kicked off I can't imagine what it might have been.
You need to contact someone who had been on your friend's list, that is if you have another way to reach them. Maybe they can inquire for you.

Why were people reporting you?

I signed up for an account just to access stuff on the web, but I have no posts, pics, or likes.
The LAST thing I want is yet another way for people to get ahold of me...

I had one account taken off, but it was my old e-mail address, so I started over. I was once asked to identify pics of friends, and a few weeks later I was reported for nudity for my AVATAR. This was my avatar. 
FB told me I was cool.
This stems from my participation on a debate page, I think. There are gangs of trolls who will report people they don't like. I think it all goes by algorithms, so if you get reported enough, FB just decides you must be doing something wrong, even if you aren't.
They have no customer service, no e-mail, nothing. Just a big faceless machine. My attempts to get my problem addressed simply got "We can't process your request at this time."
It sucks because I did use it to stay in touch with friends and family, and to keep up with news, etc.
However, we all know FB is used to spy on people, etc. I'll just live without it.

Vegans vs. Meat Eaters (Open Debates) 2. I'm a vegan and the page is loaded with obvious trolls and fake accounts.
Whatever you think about it, there are people with a vested interest in making sure people keep consuming animal products. There are several similar pages, all started by people who didn't fare well debating the vegans.
I would think that most people who don't like it would just leave it alone, right? People who are on there every day attacking vegans have a little more going on than just thinking it's silly. The first page (not 2) was shut down a while back. Several other vegans have had their accounts disabled or even hacked (2 admins have been falsely quoted saying racist things they never said).
If I had it to do over again, I'd stick to birthdays and pics of kittens. Advocacy puts you at risk.

If Texan ranchers are willing to file a false lawsuit against Oprah, they won't think it's wrong to falsely slander you to Facebook.
